Tasting Notes

Relatively pale. Smells of boiled sweets – very simple. As though the flavour has been boiled out.

A dense ruby/purple color is followed by aromas of charred wood, coffee, blackberry and cherry fruit, and new saddle leather. Full-bodied, dense, chewy, and intense, this muscular as well as backward vin de garde requires cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020.

Vinous 89
Deep full red. Snappy aromas of cherry liqueur, blackberry, minerals, licorice and charry, spicy oak. Concentrated, vinous and deep; dense and structured. Finishes with big, ripe tannins and lingering, sweet fruit. Appears to have benefitted from a gentle bottling.
